Sumter when the Union flag was
renstated, and when the late
preacher delivered his famous Grafton.
Rev. Willis is some years older than Mr..
Beecher was, and he came long distance
TO pay last tribute to his departed asso-
ciate of the stormy scenes of the late war.
AT 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the children
of the Plymouth Sunday school met in the
school-room in the rear OF the church and
were formed in line and marched through
the church. The children of Mayfower
school in Jay street, ana those of Bethel
school in Hicks street were also
passed through the church at the same
time. The public had to wait until the
children got through, when the endless
stream began its lively gait past the
casket. Gen, King gave some grand
selections on the organ during the alter
noon, and music was kept up all the time
the people were pressing through the
church. Other organists are assisting
the General In keeping up the supply OF
music. The house at the corner of Hicks
and Clark streets is still an object OF
curiosity to strangers, and q special
policeman is still on duty.
Mrs. Beecher Is enjoying good health,
and is receiving the visits OF her personal
friends.
The military will be on duty until 8
O'Clock Saturday. The iuterment will be
private and at Greenwood cemetery.
CLOSING THE DOORS.
AS the night drew on the long line of
people passing in the churcn began to
wane, and by 10 O'Clock there were not
more than score of people In line. The
doors OF the church were closed, and then
the officers who had been on duty filed
past the coffin, The members of Com
pany g and few church members then
passed the bier for last look at the be-
loved pastor. The church was cleared of
people and the military resumed their
silent vigil. Mrs. Beecher and the lam
lily will come down at o'clock in the
morning, and then the coffin lid Will be
closed and the body removed To the ceme-
terry. 1t was noticed tonight that the
body had begun to change. The face
was slightly discolored near the eyes.
None but the family will be present at
the private interment.
The Clerical Union of New York and
Brooklyn has membership of clergymen
irrespective of creed or denomination.
Having in mind the recent ac:ioG OF
body of ministers in Chicago relative to
Henry Ward Beecher and his death, the
Clerical Union, at a special meeting held
to-day, unanimously adopted minutes to
offset the attitude Of the Chicago clergy
men.

ness Brought to Light.
AUSTIN, TEX, March u.-Senate Ser
geant-at-Arms Hennessy has been unani-
mously expelled for having raised the
amount Of warrant from $100 to $3.50
Hennessy rendered his resignation, ac-
ceptance of which was rejected by tho
Senate after an exciting discussion.
Senator Douglass stated during the de-
bae that il had been discovered,
on investigation. that each Senator
had been charged from $22 to'$ $25 for post
age stamps, whereas 81 would cover such
expenses in his (Douglass') case. In
Justice Calhoun's court this afternoon
three additional complaints were lodged
against Hennessy, charging him with
raising receipts for small amounts,
one for $l5 being raised TO
$40 and another for 81 30 being
changed to $75. Hennessy's expulsion
from office creates a sensation. He had
been one OF the most popular officials in
the city and his friends were horrided to-
day on the discovery of additional tam
perlng with vouchers for money paid out.
1t is said that criminal proceedings will
be pushed vigorously. Hennessy is
Chairman of the Tenth Senatorial Dis
trict Democratic Committee.

TERRY's TREACHERY.
LONDON, March 1.-The Telegraph as
serts that the Admiralty has trustworthy
information that the Russian government
received and now has drawings and
papers connected with the British naval
designs which were sold by Draughts-
man Terry, who has just been discharged
tr0m.em ployment in the navy yard at
Chatham.
Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of
the Admiralty, stated in the House of
Commons this afternoon that no charge
or allegation had been made by any Ad-
miralty official against the American
Legation or against any American news
paper in connection with the recent scam
dal concerning the sale to foreigners of
confidential information by an employe
al the Chatham navy yard.
Replying to question whether officials
were bound by oath against breach OF
trust, Lord George Hamilton said that the
law did not cover such an offense, but
that the government contemplated an
amendment in that respect. At the pres
ent, he said, the employees were not bound
by oath, and dismissal simply involved
loss Of pension. He declined to state
which foreign power had received in
formation sold by Terry. He declared
that the press statements with reference
to the affair were unwarranted.

STRIKE OF THE swIrCHMEN.
The Brakemen and Conductors Go
Out in Sympathy.

Ihe Bfakemen and Conductors Go
Out in sympathy.
pITTsBURG, Pa, March II "A Youngs-
town, o., dispatch says: "No movement
has been made to-day by either the New
York, Pennsylvania and ONO or the
Pennsylvania Railroad Companies to
start the freight trains in their yards,
though it was reported that each COM
pany would have large force on hand
to take the places of the strikers. The
road brakemen on the Mahoning division
manning through freight trains from
here to Cleveland struck this morning
and joined the yard men, the last
through freight leaving here
at 10 O'Clock. This closes
freight traffic between youngstown and
Cleveland over the New York, Pennsyl-
vania ana Ohio road. All the heavy
Mogul engines belonging to the New
York, Lake Erie aud W estern in use on
the Mahoning division and the main line
of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
have been ordered home, and are being
sent East as rapidly as possible, indl-
eating that the Erie road will probably
surrender its lease OF the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, as it is known
that President Adams and other officials
are now in New York having a confer
ence with the Erie officials.

The freight brakemen's strike on the
Baltimore Il Ohio road is virtually at an
end, and trains will be running as usual
by Monday or Tuesday next. Several

without any demonstration on the part of
the strikers. The trains were manned
principally by new crews, although quite

The strikers were all paid Off this after
noon and notified that their services were
no longer required. The officials OF the
road claim that they have ali the men

stand by the new hands. No further
trouble is expected.
ROAD MEN READY TO QUIT.
CLEVELAND. o., March 1.-THE strike
OF the switchmen on the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad Is be.
coming more serious than was expected.
This morning the freight orakemen and
conductors refused to take out trai1s
made up by green hands, and ali the
roadmen along the line are said to be on
the eve or quitting work until the trouble
with the switchmen is adjusted. For
several days past an occasional freight
train has been made up and sent out, but
nothing of the kind could be done to-day,
and the prospects are that the road will
soon be blocked.
The strike was emphasized to-day by
sixty road brakemen who joined therein.
This takes in only the Mahoning division
of the line. One hundred and five rail-
road men are now out, but the stoppsge
OF traffic has caused coal famine, and
many mills and lactories along the route
have been closed In consequence. Fully

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., March IL
The mystery surrounding the Denmead
family has been cleared up. The family
consisted of three brothers, Samuel,
Robert and John, and SamuePs wife.
SamuePs wife and Robert had not been
seen for over two months, and Samuel's
savage manner repelled every body who
tives a search warrant was issued, and
found, as stated yesterday, the bodies OF
the TWO missing people partly decom-
posed. The condition of the bodies indi-
Gates that they died from starvation.
Samuel and Jonn say they died from
natural causes, and the supposition is
that after they fell i'll they were neglected
and thus starved. The brothers
were arrested. After this they
gave a power of attorney
10 their counsel, who had their horrible
Gen cleared out and most of it's contents
burned. In it were found great quanti-
ties OF deeds, mortgages and other valu-
able papers. The family are very veal
thy, but have lived as recluses many
years, repelling all association with man.
kind. Their counsel this evening makes a
statement that Robert Denmead was
taken i'll four months ago and died about
Christmas. Cornelia was taken ill few
days before Christmas and died a few
days after. Death in each case resulted
from natural causes. John says samuel
would not permit the bodies to'be buried.
